The yellow LED lights up, and flashes on any USB activity.
The blue LED lights up when USB High-Speed connection is in use.
The Found New Hardware Wizard occurs. Proceed like shown in the following screenshots.
The screenshots are taken from Windows 2000. There are some differences to other Windows versions. Automatic internet driver installation will always fail as this driver is not certified and (therefore) not included in any Microsoft service pack.
The Hardware Wizard shows “Composite USB Device” – do not confuse – this is indeed the USB2LPT device.
Check the button “Search for a suitable driver for my device”, and proceed by clicking “Next”.
Click “Specify a location” to select the folder where you have unpacked the downloaded file usb2lpt.zip – oder leave “Floppy disk drives” checked if you have a diskette. Use the two-letter language directory (e. g. en for English) you prefer. Currently, 14 languages are available.
Install usb2lpt.inf by clicking “Next”. On Windows 2000 and successors, you have to confirm execution of uncertified drivers. Moreover, you must have Administrator privileges to install the driver.
For x64 systems, you need any utility that overrides the driver signature enforcement.
A final installation page allows you selecting the emulated address and trapping method.
